Wendy Brandes 18K Two-Tone Gold Pendant Necklace With Blackened Silver Accents
About the Item
Inspired by Marie Antoinette's daughter, Marie-Thérèse, this chunky 18K oval pendant represents both pain and strength — Marie-Thérèse was imprisoned and mistreated during the French Revolution. She was only 11 when the Bastille was stormed on July 14, 1789. After she was freed at the age of 17, she proved to be mentally tough and politically adept. Nearly 20 years later, when Napoleon tried to take France after fleeing exile on Elba, she was so fearless in standing her own ground that the general called her "the only man in [her] family." The blackened sterling silver bars do not obscure the view of the royal fleur-de-lis symbol, which is atop an engraved brick wall. More details below:
18K yellow gold in satin and high-polish finishes.
18K rose gold fleur-de-lis.
Blackened sterling silver.

Wendy Brandes Jewelry
About the Designer: Jewelry design is Wendy Brandes’s second career. Wendy started out as a business journalist at the Wall Street Journal and CNN, later switching to pop-culture coverage during her tenure as managing editor of People magazine’s website. Her story-telling skills remain as strong as ever, but they’re now expressed in carat weight and grams of gold instead of word count. Wendy's “Fine Jewelry for Witty People" is distinguished by its stellar workmanship; warm, satin finish; hidden and symbolic details, including mechanical parts; and wry commentary on everything from history to iPhone addiction. Her award-winning 18K yellow gold collection -- featured here -- is inspired by fascinating women, and all designs are limited-edition or one-of-a-kind. Wendy has been featured in the New York Times, W Magazine, and British Vogue, and her jewelry has been spotted on Rihanna, model Bella Hadid and Britney Spears.
